I don't think it's got to do with change as much as it does with professionalism. It's rare to see people still willing to give their blood sweat and tears even though they are down on the depth chart.

Hendo got beat for the job, but he still didn't give up when it would have been easy to. He stayed ready and he gave Miree a run for his money late in the season.

Henderson was all about toughness, but he could do other things so damn well. I still vividly remember Hendo jumping over the Vikings defender and making him look silly, not many people in their mid 30's could do that.

With that said, it was time for him to go. His skills were diminishing fast, and he wasn't the same player from 2 years ago. I'd love to see someone like Henderson get a front office job though, specifically with the Packers.

You have to be cold to be an NFL executive for a team nowadays.

There is an article for the Press Gazette that stated the Packers and to be fair there was a clear attachment this author had with Green. He did a Farewell Slideshow to him as well. He was clearly someone he had a good business relationship in the Packer locker room with.

When you get done reading it you think to yourself that this guy couldn't be a GM in the NFL. It's a cold business. You don't reward guys for what they accomplished in the past. It's what you did for me yesterday type of league and that's how it's going to work for a while. Unfortunately for guys like Henderson and Green, yesterday for them happen nearly 5 years ago.

:beersign: Another era of GB Packer football ends and the loss of Henderson and Green is not easy to swallow. Now we wait to see if and when some new tigers can fill those shoes. One does have to wonder what this may mean to Brett's comfort level though. protection in the pocket was always a pretty strong suit for both of those men that have left.

It's time for him to retire, but he was one of the greatest Packers in this era. He didn't see much fanfare, but he was so dedicated and a hard working. Hopefully, he will turn into a Packer coach one day.

I my opinion this guy should be a first ballot "Packer" HOF inductee... Not only was he a great player, he handled himself and the torch for the Packer organization with great pride, respect for the game, and overall just worked hard all the time. I am glad that he made the Pro Bowl at least once in his career, IMO should have been more.

Big Wil - I hope that the next chapter in your life is as good as the one you authored here in Green Bay as a player for us fans.

:thumbsup: Well put.

Hendo should be recognized by the Pack at some point. He did a lot for this team. One of my favs. Sad to see him go. But all good things end.
Would love to see him back in Green in some capacity, be it front office or with a mike and a clipboard.

But back to now, Griffith would be such a nice upgrade. And I think we all could use a nice little signing here in Packer Nation. We'll wait and see on Moss or McGahee, but Griffith would allow me to exhale.

I know some on this board have detailed that all the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
we have can be alloted to our own people...Standard increases, whatnot...

But that's a chunk of change. TTs FA hatred can def rub the wrong way at times.

i remember hendo talking on espn. some guy ask him about playing with brett favre and how favre threw 29 ints. william said, "I will always stand behind my quarterback and support him." What a class act. He was "packer people".
